About to graduate college with a BA in English, US economy sucks, would like to go somewhere else and this sounds like a good plan. Ideas of who to go through or not go through would be much appreciated. |

What makes you think the economy here is any better, particularly in areas of education? |

You might want to consider China. You can earn 8000 RMB a month. Probably 12000 if you pick up a part time job. |

Pick Taiwan. I saw someone post here in the Taiwan section that two private students in Taiwan would pull in 20k a month. If what this poster said was true then I honestly can't see why you'd bother with China. Simply come to Taiwan and get 10 or so privates. You'd pull in 100k a month easy, probably more. |

MOD EDIT
Check out the add. At least 8000RMB in Hangzhou and a free apartment. |

Or you can move to a major city in China and get 150 an hour teaching. If you don't mind working weekends you can get 150 and up an hour, 16 hours a week. Some schools offer 200 an hour to teach on Saturday and Sunday. It seems that children in China attend English class on the weekend. |

Why not just stick to Taiwan and get 10 to 20 privates at 10k a month? Seriously, that's 200k a month, easy. It's dead easy. |
